# Dictionaries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`A dictionary` is a mapping (key `->` attributes) that can be used in a query as functions.
|
||
|
|
You can think of this as a more convenient and efficient type of JOIN with dimension tables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are built-in (internal) and add-on (external) dictionaries.
